"Less" decipherable - "more" cryptic.

If everything works out, that RNS is good. Need to wait for the details to come through but fundamentally very good news for any holders of DTZ shares - especially at this price. All IMHO of course. Hi to anyone I know using a more decipherable pseud than I am! :)

L YOU GUYS GIVE IT A REST ! :)

I think today, or the near future, would be a good time to get in. Trading update given and currently down 11% on what was already, IMO, a depressed price. Anything around 40 has to be a good price to get in here if you're prepared to hold for a year or more and the gain should be considerably more than 10%. Then again - DYOR, etc!

I expected a big improvement but this is even better than expected, better than most expected I would think. Good work by the Laird team and it's always nice to see signs of encouragement amongst all the depressing dross we're exposed to these days. Sp appears to rising steadily, moved from +10 to +11% since I've been at my computer screen (the last 45 mins). Wonder how far she can go?

That's what I'm doing - just wondered if this is usual/unusual... thanks for response! ;)

Or is this some kind of tree shake?

Sold mine at just over 82 earlier in the week. Still think this is a good medium-long term hold but I needed the cash for other things potentially better over the short term combined with a little nervousness about the markets generally. I expect this will settle at around 80 for a while and then move up towards 100 on any signs of good news in real estate sector (or down on bad news of course). I'd estimate 100 could be had by summer but I can't wait that long. Good luck to those who still hold. DYOR etc.

Makes a change from treading water.

Everyone is skipping the good news and focusing on the negatives. If you read the details it is actually quite good news, for example, there is a loss but it is a smaller loss and a large part of it is caused by exceptionals from the cost cutting exercise that will from now on be a benefit. The SP is holding because at least some people see the silver lining as well as the cloud.

Forget the 85-90p idea. What I've seen so far is giving a more negative spin than I expected. Up 10% if we're lucky.

As far as I know the results were sent to Stock Market this morning so we should see some movement soon. Don't see an RNS yet, perhaps that's what we're waiting for? A pound by Xmas is a possibility I suppose but given the ****ty state of the market generally I'd settle for 85-90p.

Not jumping ship, just being moved to another ship owned by the same company to try and plug a few holes in the hull!

System error.

Might actually be someone I know. He's got about that many and is tidying things up before moving on to pastures new. I'll ask him tomorrow. If it is him then there's nothing sinister to read into the sale.

You did the right thing and I wish I'd done the same really. Could have got out at 100 for 100% profit and then back in at 70ish but holding these is more like having a pet cat for me than a money making instrument! They'll be back to 100 soon enough. Generally on the real estate sector, I have a feeling 2010 might see some good increases so if you don't have any in your portfolio I'd recommend getting some now. You can take your pick of the companies they should all do well.

I'm predicting a slow run into Christmas now followed by a bit of a rush mid to late Jan and then building through 2010. But what do I know.

...finally got down to the price I originally expected it to rise to. We have some 1/2yr results to be announced soon I think so we'll see what happens then. If they are in line with expectations then back up to a quid I expect. Hard to believe with all the attention to numbers these days that they will be off, but you never know.

They sure do seem to be taking their time about it!
